Students at the Mescalero Apache School celebrated the 100th day of classes last week and capped off the day being measured for a trip to Ski Apache, which is operated by the tribe.

Students in Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade took turns each week going up to Ski Apache to ski. The teachers prepare the students for the trip in advance by taking shoe sizes and having the school nurse record their weight and height for the forms they turn into the ski instructors.
